Blogger-ing WITHOUT Gmail

Some asked if it is possible to make a blog if you don't have a gmail account. It IS possible and the video below shows how. This is the same step your students would have to go through if you sent them an invite to their Groupwise address. They would be creating a 'google account' before they actually can use the blogger. Again, I advise all students to sign up for Gmail simply because it makes things easier to administer each class if you start everything fresh. Obviously, that's up to you.




Note: the tool used for recording the screenshot and audio above is called camstudio 2.0. It makes an .avi file of whatever you like from your screen along with audio or onscreen text. A tool that has a lot of possible classroom applications and better...it's 100% Free and pretty easy to download and use. You can get it here. - Don
